Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute The Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute came about as a result of discussions, dating back to 1998. This group felt that it would be helpful to create a centre or institute to help enhance Catholic research and communications in the area of bioethics in a way that would be of service to Canadians generally. In particular, it was felt that there was a need to foster collaborative, integrated research and to communicate the fruits of that research in ways that are accessible to Canadians of all backgrounds. |

Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of Manitoba
The Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics is located in the heart of the Fort Garry campus at the University of Manitoba. Whether in biomedicine, business or the environment, the questions raised by both scholars and ordinary citizens have frequently been ethical questions: about right and wrong, justice and injustice, fair distribution of benefits and burdens. Answers to these questions have serious implications for how we live our lives, as individual citizens, as members of this or that particular community, and as human beings who share many common aspirations and fears.
